However, this appears to be the "real deal" and was excited to see it listed (although I could never afford it).
Well we now know a bit more about this. Those gate photos were taken at the St. Pancras Old Church and Garden. The main caretaker of the church was a man named Mr. Barnard. In the photograph is his wife, their daughter, Jennifer, and two of Jennifer's three sons.
Jennifer's mother was able to get George, Paul and Ringo's autograph and interestingly enough, something I never noticed was that the older woman, who we now know to be Mrs. Barnard is actually holding a piece of paper and a felt marker that was used for the autographs. She is holding a Threetles autograph in the photos.
Very interesting. Yoko probably got pushed out of the finished line up as her face was familiar. Is she hiding behind the big girl in the spots ?
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting too that Yoko was gone from the photo they used in the record jackets. I'm inclined to think they edited her out of the photo rather than pushed her out. I would think John would've protested it they told her to get out of the shot. Remember they were JohnAndYoko at that time. She was always with him and the most important thing in his life.
DeleteThis is one of my favourite Beatles photos. To me it sums up their appeal and popularity across all ages. Who was the photographer. Is the b&w photo available as a poster anywhere?
ReplyDeleteMost probably Don McCullin but possibly Stephen Goldblatt.
DeleteDoes anyone know who the boy in front of the fence in the shorts and jumper is ? I possibly know him ?
